------- Additional Comments From Thomas.McGuire gmx net  2007-06-30 16:12 -------
The GDB backtrace was useful (you can see that KMail checks the signature during the deadlock), but the output from KMail itself wasn't useful and just makes the bug report harder to read. Such output should be attached in the future. But that is not a big problem anyway.

The deadlock happens because KMail starts gnupg as an external process and then waits for it to do something. For some reason, gnupg never finishes, which is why KMail deadlocks.

In the duplicate report bug 147395, the reason for this is that gnupg tries to contact a server which can't be reached.
